    AUTODROMO NAZIONALE MONZA


    The Monza Circuit, officially called the Autodromo Nazionale Monza (Italian for 'Monza National Autodrome'), is a 5.793 km (3.600 mi) race track near the city of Monza, north of Milan, in Italy. Built in 1922, it was the world's third purpose-built motor racing circuit after Brooklands and Indianapolis, and the oldest in mainland Europe. The circuit's biggest event is the Italian Grand Prix. With the exception of the 1980 running when the track was closed while undergoing refurbishment, the race has been hosted there since 1949. The circuit is also known as "the Temple of Speed" due to its long straights and high-speed corners.

    I have been wanting to gwt back into LMU, their events dont give much chance to practise before a race so have been wary of just jumping straight into a race (I swear they want this for some reason)

    A quick "heads-up" guys:
    With the last update it looks like LMU will give you a penalty for "pitlane misbehaviour".
    Near as i can determine, that means you didn't move into or out of the "fast lane" within whatever limit they've assigned. A red warning bar alerts you, but i didn't know what it was first time and just got lucky with my pit location. i've seen several DT penalties in the races i've done this week.

    Remember! The server won't be live until P1 official start time of 17:30 GMT '90 min practice session' Nice tip about the pit lane penalties, thanks Barrett!
    When in Pit Lane: Remember to move directly to the outside lane & don't loiter or the penalty will come.

    I should note that the new angled starts make that a bit tricky as well, if you're used to "looking right" to see if someone's coming. Best to pull out and move parallel just before the outside lane so the radar can alert you to any potential collision, then move asap into the outside lane.

    i did some testing today and this has a track by track tolerance. Sebring gives you very little time, because the pit lane is narrow. Daytona, because the pit lane is so very wide, you have to be way closer to the actual pit stalls to get the warning [at least in practice].

    I am not a happy little Larry. And that my friends is an understatement.
    NO CHATTING DURING THE RACE.
    This is not a complicated rule. It is common sense and is respectful to other drivers. Your problem, whatever it is, should not be a problem for all the others. I got surprised and distracted by unexpected chattering and binned my car only a few seconds into the race. Thanks guys, but I can ruin my race all by myself without your help.
    NB Just a reminder, at the end of the race no chatting until EVERYONE has crossed the line.

    Sorry if it distracted you. I was messaging the other driver who had the same issue during the formation lap. If you want, you can hide the chat.

    Not fast enough so not so happy about that.

    it was going well up until the pitstop and then it went downhill rapidly. It was great fun for the most part. Thanks all

    I would like to apologise in advance for anyone that watches back the broadcast. I have been suffering with a bad throat and coughing all week and I did my best to mute when I could feel it coming on. I think I may have missed the mute button a couple of times, so apologies!

    Congrats to everyone, the idiot I am was just short on fuel at the pit stop so I had to coast during 2nd stint.

    Unfortunately my game crashed just at the very finish of quali session which I finished 4th and I when I relaunched the game session was in race already. I was hoping that game will allow to start from pit lane but unfortunately it didn't happen.

    Odd... I thought the game allowed people to join an active race session.
